Blue Cross/Blue Shield

Perhaps you’ve decided that it’s time to seek professional treatment for your struggle with addiction, but you’re not sure that you can afford the cost of rehab and recovery. Or maybe you’ve been avoiding treatment because you’re worried that you’ll end up overwhelmed by medical bills or saddled with debt.

If you’re a member of an Blue Cross/Blue Shield health plan, you already have the tools you need at your disposal to defeat addiction once and for all. In fact, your Blue Cross/Blue Shield health plan includes both resources for locating treatment as well as coverage for the cost of many forms of rehab, including inpatient and outpatient programs, therapy, and medication.

What Does My Plan Cover?

Comprised of 36 individual organizations across the country, Blue Cross and Blue Shield is the health care provider of choice for over 100 million Americans. Their behavioral health plans cover some or all of the cost of detox, rehabilitation programs (including inpatient, residential, or outpatient, depending on your needs and coverage), and continuing care at treatment centers in their network. If necessary, your plan should also assist you in paying for psychotherapy and medications that will help you to withdraw successfully and stay sober.

As a member of an Blue Cross/Blue Shield health plan, you have access to benefits that will likely cover many of the costs associated with treating addiction. It’s important to understand that your exact benefits will depend on your plan, as well as your diagnosed medical needs. Your Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan will cover a program of treatment that is considered medically necessary. In many cases, you’ll begin the treatment process by visiting a doctor in your Blue Cross/Blue Shield coverage network who can refer you to a treatment program that’s also in your health plan’s network.
